Anurag Kashyap’s Kennedy will be the closing film at the 14th Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM). The festival will conclude on August 20 in Melbourne.

The film, earlier this year, premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. It stars Sunny Leone and Rahul Bhat.

The closing night ceremony of IFFM promises to be a star-studded affair and will see Anurag in the audience along with Sunny and Rahul. A day ahead of the closing night, on August 19, Anurag and the lead cast will also participate in an exclusive conversation session about Kennedy with a live audience.

“I am delighted that Kennedy is the closing film at IFF, Melbourne. It’s the first Indian film festival we are playing in the world and I am excited to know the response of the audience. I will be there to attend the same and gauge the response, and I am sure that they’ll like the film, like the global audience who has seen the film till now,” says Anurag.

Kennedy follows the enthralling tale of a long-thought-to-be-dead, insomniac ex-cop, who finds himself entangled in a corrupt system while seeking redemption.

The 14th IFFM will run from August 11 to 29.
